America's most fiery conservative talk show host backing liberal Jerry Brown for California's attorney general?

Yes, it's true.

Michael Savage, the nation's third-most-listened-to radio host (and fourth-most-influential host, according to NewsMax's Top 25 List), confirmed that he recently donated $5,600 – the maximum allowable – to Brown's campaign.

Brown won the Democratic Party nod and is facing Republican State Sen. Chuck Poochigian of Fresno, Calif.

"What can I say?" Savage told the San Francisco Chronicle. "I think he'd make a great attorney general compared to the other guy. By the way, who is the other guy?"

Republican Poochigian is currently a state senator and former assemblyman who has served 12 years in Sacramento.

"You have to make choices in an imperfect world," Savage said. "And this, this Machugian guy [sic]. I never heard of him. I don't even know who he is."

"Why bet on a horse that isn't going to win? Why throw your money into the garbage?"

Savage said he respects Brown's decision to start the Oakland military academy and his experience as a politician, regardless of his very liberal past.

Brown, who had the nickname "Governor Moonbeam," served as California's governor for two terms beginning in 1974. A former Democratic presidential candidate, he ran for mayor of Oakland, Calif., in 1998 and won.

"People change. He changed. He has experience," Savage told the Chronicle. ... "He's moved to the center, which is what this socialist state needs."

As for the conservative Poochigian's campaign, they are not so angry with the Savage defection, bragging that their candidate has the backing of Bo Derek.

Savage is NOT conservative. I'm not sure what he is, but he is definately a big government guy. And, a nut.

That's strange. I always thought he was a Green Party fan. Maybe his support for Brown is a direct result of the death of Grandpa Munster.

This story has been posted a couple of times already.

But, anyone who buys "Savage's" act as sincere is a fool!

Moonbeam would be a disaster for CA. The CA AG is pretty powerful, especially in the area of the RKBA. He is soft on crime also.

"America's most fiery conservative talk show host..."

That's a load of crap. He pretends to be "America's most fiery conservative talk show host".

Savage is a Conservative Talk Show Host poorly played by a guy named Michael Weiner.

I don't know how you can call someone "conservative" when they support the minimum wage, give money to Moonbat liberals, spews hatred towards other Conservatives, and sometimes sounds like Cindy Sheehan when speaking of the War in Iraq.

"Didn't he criticize President Bush for not being conservative enough?!"

...and more

Weiner slams other talkers like Rush because they sometimes talk about other topics besides Islamofasism.

But then again, 2/3 of "Weiner Nation" is devoted to spaghetti recipes, stories about him polishing statues as a kid, and his dog.
